Before You Leave
Your final task before leaving for the long voyage is FOR BOTH to look up ONE piece of new navigation technology you will be using so that you can teach your partner about how you will be using it. THIS INFORMATION COULD SAVE YOUR LIVES! Simply, search for ONE of the following tools and write a few sentences describing WHAT the instrument is and HOW it is used. (You can also look at p. 97 in your text to get you started.)
If I was a captain of the ship that in charge of a long voyage, I would use a compass. Compass will allow to navigate where we are going, so we don't get lost in the middle of the sea. There should be no worry about starvation and other risks with this compass. Compass also allows us to know what direction we are going by matching the arrows on South and North. PORT 2
